A Day at the Orchard

Hi All,
Sunday we took a trip to Klackles Apple Orchard in Greenville with Jim's parents. It was our first trip, and we were pleasantly surprised with all the activities they had! We had a nice ride to the orchards and were able to pick some apples and pumpkins to take home. The kids also enjoyed the petting zoo, where we were able to pet sheep, bunnies, donkeys, llamas, etc. They had all sorts of the inflatable bounce toys, and we found a small one that Drew and Bree could enjoy. They had pony, camel and elephant rides, something to look forward to in the future. There was also a huge corn maze. Oh, and Drew was a big fan of the fresh apples. He picked one up from the orchard and took a big bite! And he ate most of it before giving it up.
On a side note, I have to mention Bree has become very particular about the clothing she wears. She has a favorite pair of pants, which you will see below. If I give her a choice of what to wear, she always chooses these striped pants! I did not give her a choice today and dressed her in jeans. However, she rebelled and got to wear her striped pants over her jeans. What does this mean for the teen years ahead?!?

Looks like a GREAT place! We didn't make it this year, but had fun last year...you and Jim look great, and the kids are adorable, even if Bree's clothes are "alternative." :)
